I wonder why Megatron has such a heavy hinged panel on his inner leg? Prime seems to have them on the back of his legs. It doesn't look like it's used for the transformation and it has tread detail that wouldn't be visible in tank mode. I wonder if they've built in a way to incorporate all 6 limb bots into one leader. I'm probably just reading too much into it, maybe these aren't as simple as they look and they're actually trying to prevent lark gaps and empty space. Now that's a novel idea.

Their arms are stored in their legs when you combine them with the Energy Beasts. The doors on their legs open and you shove their arms in there. They're parts storage and nothing more.

I mentioned that earlier in the thread, but that's far more than most figures like these get. Even Studio Series doesn't have particularly great parts storage for weapons and limbs. Can't help but think there's more to it.

This is so stupid, I can't help but loving it.
Too bad that buying these would be way too expensive due to shipping.

I threw together a document of translated info from the Wild King official webpage + just a listing of the currently officially revealed product.
It's not a perfect translation, used Google Translate to start (just to make things faster and more efficient for me) and then used my own (admittedly more on the limited side) knowledge of Japanese + some small artistic license to clean up the translations and make them easier for a native English speaker to read. Feel free to throw any feedback at me on it and I'll fix whatever I need to.

In Hand Images of Transformers Wild King Line Finally Give us an Idea of their Size
- Motto: "'till All Are One"
Takara's exclusive Wild King line is out now and fans are posting images online. Many also got the free weapons kits that are redecos of the FOC Grimlock weapons in 4 different colors. While the images show us the various configurations, we also now get a sense of scale. Optimus and Megatron are voyager height, slightly taller than the generations Optimus toys from the recent lines. The limb bots are deluxe sized. The images do confirm that the limb bots don't differ much in tooling from on to the next aside from their front and back removeable animal bits. You'll let us know what you think!
Here are all the sources for the images:

I don't think we really appreciated how big these figures are until we saw these pictures. Shame the tariff rollercoaster meant a lot of didn't pre-order these. Hope whoever bought them is ready for a Chinese price hike to be added on.

Why would they be subject to the Chinese tariff if imported from Japan? Won't it just be the blanket 10%?

The tariffs are for the items' country of origin, meaning the country they're manufactured in, not where they're sold from.william-james88 wrote:Emerje wrote:I don't think we really appreciated how big these figures are until we saw these pictures.

Regardless, it's not US made so...
Anyway, I just love Canada's hypocrisy that complain about Trump's tariffs when they are tariffing themselves. They impose mandatory taxes on all eBay purchases and if anyone import anything that is worth above 100$, bang, we get hit.
Anyway, the base price of these things are pretty expensive so I don't want to pay taxes and shipping on top of that.

But that's not a tariff. That's just sales tax which the US also has, as does the UK (VAT) and most other countries.
Sure we also get a 10$ admin fee, but that's not a tariff either. A tariff is an additional percentage fee on top of the sales tax. Canada does not have that on items imported from Japan.

Specifically, Takara Tomy figures initiated by them (Masterpiece, most of the T-Spark stuff) are made in China, stuff they share with Hasbro (Generations molds, Earthspark molds) are made in Vietnam.
